Application Overview & Requirements

Because MEDPREP is a highly selective program, every application is carefully reviewed and evaluated. We work diligently to put together a motivated and diverse class of incoming students.

We understand that individual circumstances may warrant interpretation by a Postbac MEDPREP team member. If you are unsure if you meet the requirements for MEDPREP, contact us for a consultation before you submit an application.

Application Cycle

MEDPREP has three open calls for applications and candidates are accepted on a rolling admissions basis throughout the entire process. For example, if you submit an application in cycle I, but do not receive an interview, your application will still be considered in cycle II and/or cycle III.

To ensure full consideration and to expedite the financial aid process, submit your application as early as possible. Competitive applicants will be interviewed only after we have received all of their application materials, which opens August 1st every year.
